Description: The Mandalorian Viper is a fast, agile interceptor designed to engage most fighters in hit and run attacks, and quickly turn back in to do it again. Vipers are similar to the Rebellion A-Wing interceptor in speed and firepower, but lacks the swivel mounted cannons and is more agile. These craft are designed to be used in conjunction with a mothership, usually a carrier, but do have their own hyperdrive for a small amount of independent operation. The fighters are also equipped with reverse engines to quickly stop the fighter and even allow for reverse flight. Despite being an excellent interceptor in space, Vipers are know to be hard to handle when taken in atmosphere.
